Knowledge, Learning, Community

The main impression I get looking at this list is that there is a one-to-one relation between microcredentials and courses. This makes sense, and I suppose there's nothing wrong with it, but what I would be really looking for is a microcredential that doesn't associate with a course at all. That's how it works for other badging systems - for example, I received a badge from my CPAP machine for running it every day for the last months. And Google Guides gave me a badge for partticipating in the community forum. If we can learn by doing, and get badges for doing things, then we have a mechanism for thinking of alternatives to courses. And we should.
